I am finally a U.S. citizen and so this day has a little more meaning than years past.
I’m the first person to scoff at made up holidays, but this one, aside from the pretty colors, fire works, parties, beach, has something for me this time around. It’s all about FREEDOM. Freedom to be who I am. Not because I live in this country, but just because.
I’m beginning to think that Happiness and Peace are possible when we feel free. Like that song, Free To Be You and Me. I tear up every time my daughters sing this song.
And so YOU and me are free to be… you and me. I celebrate that today and this weekend.
Blessings,
Asha
